If you want a bike to rebuild for a work project, or want parts for another 650, this could be what you desire. P I am the second owner, purchased 2011, and I put about 45K on it. The CVT belt blew out in June 2017 (what my shop, various Burgman forums, and I believe with 99.3% certainty without actually going inside and doing the surgery): I haven't the skill set or equipment to get in there and fix it myself, and I don't want to put that much into the bike to have my shop do it (10-12 hours of labor is my shop's estimate). If you want this bike to run again, the absolute minimum parts investment you’ll need is the belt. That said, please note: NO MECHANIC HAS GONE INTO THE TRANSMISSION, so seriously, this is the LOOSEST STARTING POINT POSSIBLE, and I am not making any claims that the CVT belt is all you will need. O rings, collar, adjusters, shims, and seals? Dunno. My shop said the pulley assembly ~likely~ would need only a cleaning to make sure nothing is gummed up from belt remnants, but again, caveat emptor: NO ONE HAS LOOKED INSIDE. The engine does turn on and turn over (which has not been done since June). What I’m trying to emphasize is, if you’re a mechanical go-getter, and labor to you is an interesting adventure and not an emotional drain, you could get another 50k miles out of an otherwise solid bike for a decent investment. Case in point: up until the belt blew, the bike was a workhorse (Sturgis, VA, Boston), ridden nearly year round (approximately 300 miles per week commuting) and maintained, but it's made its last run for me. Some specifics, just so every bidder is on the same page (because the last person who won this auction apparently didn't realize how much it would cost to have the bike towed to their location and tried to basically run away from the issue): To be clear, part 1: the title is clean. It’s listed as salvage, but I have the title. To be clear, part 2: you will have to tow the bike. To be clear, part 3: you will need to pick it up in person so the title is transferred properly. To be clear, part 4: you should probably live in state, because unless you are towing it yourself, towing fees add up. To be clear, part 5: I will block any bidder with poor feedback or who reside outside of the United States. You really only should be bidding on this if you live in Illinois. FULL(ER) DISCLOSURE: an F1 light came on two years ago, and although I forget the code when a former shop ran the diagnostics, it signified that the clutch system and engine weren't "speaking" to each other to determine optimal CVT belt positioning. This issue was resolved in later models by housing that communications system in one place, but the wires and connectors, according to a previous shop, were clean, and the bike was / has / had been safe to ride (I rode to Boston, Kansas City, and maintained my commute with the light coming on).
